Mistra Carbon Exit part of the Roadmaps for fossil free competitiveness

On April 25, nine industries delivered their roadmaps for fossil-free competitiveness to the Swedish government. Several representatives from Mistra Carbon Exit have been involved in the development of roadmaps for the Concrete industry and the Construction industry.

- I am impressed and inspired by the work and dedication that has gone in to the preparation of the Roadmaps. The actors involved has committed to ambitious emission reduction targets and now it is up to everyone involved, including us in Mistra Carbon Exit, to make sure that the plans and recommendations are carried forward and put in action, says Johan Rootzén, Case Study Leader Buildings and Transport Infrastructure, and part of the roaddmap for the construction and civil engineering sector.

The roadmaps describe how each sector can increase their competitiveness by phasing out fossil fuels. They also identify obstacles and propose solutions. The roadmaps are managed by either industry associations or companies in an open process that aims to include the entire sectors.
